GENEVA (AP) - The U.N.'s top human rights official called Friday for the Sudanese government to carry out an impartial investigation into allegations its soldiers took part in the rape of women in Darfur last December.
At least 15 cases of rape and sexual assault at the hands of uniformed men were reported in the eastern Jebel Marra region of Darfur, according to a statement issued by the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour.
"Victims were as young as 13 years old and at least two pregnant women were targeted in the violence," the statement said.
